Overall good school and good education
Overall 4.8
Overall I really like this school! So many opportunities if you take the time and put in the effort for them!
Overall 4.8
Great university. The education is much more than adequate. I went from knowing nothing in my field to having completed an undergraduate and an undergraduate degree within four years. The community is great, the Seattle location is unbeatable, and the opportunities to grow here are plentiful in number and exceptional in quality.

I'm a sophomore here and it's honestly such a great school.

The best place if you want an urban school
Overall 4.7
I completed a nursing degree here and I could not have asked for a better university. The professors are incredible. Comparing stories with nurses who graduated elsewhere I see how lucky I was to have gone to SU, as my experience was far better and I learned more and had more opportunities. Campus location 10/10, always walking distance from fun

Absolutely adore this school.
Overall 4.5
Beautiful campus and buildings, amazing food and lots to do. Love the professors and the opportunities here. The people are really nice and I feel like there is a sense of community even though it's an urban school. Making friends is easy especially if you're not a commuter but don't expect wild parties.

Overall 1.8
Terrible customer service in every avenue (library, tech, communication, admissions, everything department). go to UW or SPU if you can. instructors didn't do their jobs (didn't respond to emails when they taught ONE class that semester), and didn't seem to give a crap. Worst education I've EVER received (graduate school).
Overall 1.9
Do not recommend! Education quality is poor; this private school mainly is for foreign visa students to pay money to get a US college degree. Most of the stuff in graduate school are repeats that you would get from public state college's curriculum. The MBA is also a cash cow of amateur profs. Campus is deserted/boring. Waste of tuitions & years.

The campus were overall good. Plus the FOOD is so bad, i got food poisoning. YOu can barely even make friends or none, so much stuff to do around.
